The protagonists in the hit series, “The Walking Dead” are surprised by cannibals in the city of Terminus. But they shouldn’t have been.

In season 6 of How I Met Your Mother, Marshall’s father dies. And the episode counts down to his death, with actual numbers. It starts with the number 50 on a brochure, which switches to 49 in the next scene, then there’s a 48 on a bottle. The countdown continues on magazine covers, newspapers, and so on until the final number 001 appears on a taxi. And then there’s a parking meter that says “expired.”
